Question Roof Liner Leather??

Just finished Leatheriquein' interior for the first time but skipped the roof liner because I think it's vinyl isn't it? There seems to be some sort of a netting reinforcing it on the inside if you look at it through the zipper above the rear windshield.

I'm also almost 100% sure it's vinyl. Either way, it doesn't get dirty, worn, or exposed to UV so I wouldn't worry about it.

I think you could get a leather headliner as an exclusive option, but probably unlikely.

I put Zaino Z10 (Leather In A Bottle) on mine, and it looks great.

Next time I may try the 303.

^Ronnie, without "before" and "after" pictures, this never really happened. Are you sure?
